  • Publication number: 20070281576
    Abstract: A projectile flier has a flying body, a propeller device mounted on the flying body and an actuator detachably combined to the flying body to rotate the propeller device. The flying body has a tube located at its gravity center to rotatably combine with an axis of the propeller device. The actuator has a handle with a pulling device that efficiently drives the axis of the propeller device to rotate. Until the propeller device rotates at high speed to provide efficient floating force, the flying body disengages from the actuator and flies into sky. By efficiently rotating the propeller device with the pulling device, rotation speed of the propeller device is significantly increased to make the flying body fly over a long period and a far distance.

  • Patent number: 6939191
    Abstract: A frisbee includes an annular main disk, and an annular support member mounted on the main disk. Thus, the support member can be detached from the main disk, so that the frisbee is foldable when not in use, thereby facilitating storage, package and transportation of the frisbee. In addition, the frisbee is guided by the cord to fly along a circumferential orbit, so that the frisbee can be played by a single player. Further, the frisbee can be played by two players and can also be played by a single player, thereby enhancing the versatility of the frisbee.

  • Patent number: 6837811
    Abstract: A string pulling device for a racket stringer includes a base, a rotation unit, a drive unit, a string pulling unit, and a top cover. Thus, the rack of the drive unit meshes with the gear of the rotation unit, so that the rotation disk is rotated rapidly to reach the destined tension unit, thereby facilitating a user adjusting the values of the pulling stress so as to control the pond and tension required for stretching the strings of a tennis or badminton racket. In addition, the string pulling device provides a precise positioning structure.
